The Bruckner Journal is a publication for all enthusiasts and devotees of Anton Bruckner
and his music. It aims to be of interest to musicians, scholars, amateurs and lay
enthusiasts, in fact to all lovers of the glorious music of Anton Bruckner, whatever
their level of knowledge and expertise.

The first issue came out in March 1997, and since then issues have included contributions
by many noted Bruckner enthusiasts, scholars and musicians:

The founding Editor in 1997 was Peter Palmer. Since March 2005 till November 2016,
the editor was Ken Ward. In June 2016 Michael Cucka became joint editor, taking
over as sole editor for the November 2016 issue. The Associate Editors are Dr. Crawford
Howie, author of ‘Anton Bruckner: A Documentary Biography’, (Edwin Mellen, 2002),
and Dr. Dermot Gault, author of “The New Bruckner” (Ashgate, 2011). David Howitt
is the new Managing Editor and deals with subscriptions and mailings, having taken
over Raymond Cox’s role over summer 2016. We are all unpaid volunteers, and The
Bruckner Journal is non-profit-making.

It is printed in English in the UK, but contributions are received and welcomed from
all over the world. It contains articles on a variety of Bruckner-related subjects,
concert reviews, CD reviews, book reviews, selected concert listings, news of events
of interest to Brucknerians and much else.

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896), Austrian composer of music which is amongst the most
inspiring, the most ennobling, the most profound in the ‘classical music’ repertoire.
His symphonies are large-scale, filled with dramatic grandeur and intense emotion,
beautiful, humane and deeply mysterious; his extraordinary religious faith also found
expression in his three great Masses, his Te Deum and numerous heartfelt shorter
sacred choral works.

“This publication, then, is for Bruckner enthusiasts everywhere.”

Peter Palmer, the founding editor.

A New Editor Michael Cucka is the new editor of The Bruckner Journal, from November 2016 issue.
